[Eric Berger] I’m now hearing from multiple people that Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will come back to Earth on Crew Dragon. It’s not official, and won’t be until NASA says so.
This would be the correct, and somewhat obvious decision. There is no compelling reason to risk lives when a lower risk option is readily available. I hope this is the path NASA selects.

NASAs reasoning, probably:
“…well, how the hell else were we gonna get them down?”
Well, I suppose that would be one reason why you spent all that money developing two systems i guess…
